Nose: Plums, orange peels, a floral note, floor polish, sawdust, manuka honey. Something strange like grilled lamb fat, damp forest floor, sump oil, Arnotts Iced Vovo Biscuits, dried mushrooms.
Palate: Pickled plums, rosehip tea, orange peels, Arnotts BBQ Shapes Biscuits, Arnotts Monte Carlo Biscuits, raisins. Water adds some nutty flavors.
Finish: Saw dust, rhubarb, plum skins, red grapes, peppermint tea, some drying tea tannins and the grilled lamb fat. Water makes this drier and more tannic.
Last Word: Tastes like a whisky and I honestly cannot says what influence 3 years in Sake Casks has. Maybe that the grilled lamb fat and peppermint tea? After a couple of weeks open, this started to develop some smoke and what seems like earthy peat on the palate and finish. I’m also enjoying this more as time goes by.
